I think normally they would just turn off the water and that wouldn’t allow you to flush.

Know that your studs may not be flush and square now, the depth of plaster will be different than sheet rock, the trim may not fit, so plan on new trim.

       " Who didnt flush the toilet ? 

Bad move, I realize in retrospect.I hope some new investors read this and avoid the mistake of being too optimistic when it comes to considering and planning for future expenses.I own 2 properties in the area. (20 in total) I'm cash flush and looking to expand.If serious message me and lets talk.Ron

If its constant check for a crack around where the flapper sets,,,that one is completely silent and can run thousands of gallons 24/7.Shut off each stool or whole building for an hour,,,tell tenants not to flush,,,open tank and see which ones are full and which are even slightly lower than normal.no meters dont jump or spin for no reason.

I'm trying to get focused in an area that may not bring as dramatic returns as the money flush pros look for.

“Passive real estate investors—think young professionals with well-paying day jobs or baby boomer homeowners flush with home equity wealth—in high-priced housing markets are looking beyond their backyards for real estate investing opportunities in lower-priced markets.”Florida, with 366,000 investment homes, leads states with the most homes owned by out-of-state investors.

When they call me to repair the water leak, and I show up to repair (or my property manager's crew does), and they see a broken window that needs repairing, they can bring it up then.A leaking toilet flush valve doesn't make a bit of difference to my investment.  

NUmber one due diligence is go to see the property and flush a toilet.

Like toilet clog due to action figure being flushed down?
